MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

This PDF was flagged by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV as malicious, with a high risk score. It contains an embedded URI that points to a Google Feedproxy URL, which is often used to obscure the true destination. The PDF structure itself is also suspicious, with duplicate object bodies, indicating potential obfuscation or malicious intent. The primary attack pattern appears to be delivering a malicious payload or leading the user to a phishing site.

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
